Yeah, isn’t it something like every national champion the last decade plus has had a top 7 roster when you average their previous 4 years or recruiting classes? That’s why it was so weird to see TCU there and I think their record this year (5-7) showed last year was a huge abnormality/fluke.

But it’s still frustrating that we haven’t managed a way to at least “fluke” our way into a title game since 1939….

I’m tired of fearing being labeled a 2%er for saying A&M football provides unacceptable returns on the support of the fans, university and BMAs. A program with the resources of Texas A&M should be top 25 every year.

I’d love to see who’s calling you a 2%er, because A&Ms return on athletic expenditures in the big 3 sports has been abysmal for decades. We absolutely should have more success with our resources, expecting better results than what we’ve gotten isn’t unreasonable at all.

Too many old Ags happy with mediocrity and that a 2-10 football season was successful if we beat the longhorns as one of our two wins. I’m hoping with the gap we’ve had since playing them, some of that mentality will be gone.
